[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 207576, member: 179"] Star, First of all, I'm sorry. Second...I'm not surprised. When J became such a wrecking ball we gave custody of him to the state. It was the ONLY way to get services, and services he did get. Didn't help a whole lot, obviously, but it was just one more thing to try. BUT, and this is a big but, when he turned 18 it was totally hands off. No programs, placements, nothing. Well, you know the history after that. The difference is there WERE adult programs he could have joined but he couldn't and wouldn't stand for the strict rules. Curfew? I'm 18!! No rap? I'm 18! So HE chose the path of not pursuing a way out of his situation, hence a few prison stints. Heck, he had one agency that would put him up in a very small, modestly furnished apartment AND get him a job that paid better than what I made. Was it a luxuious job? Heck no. BUT IT'S A JOB FOR A 3 TIME CONVICTED FELON!! It sounds like Dude wants to do right. Check out adult programs. Also, I would contact the DA and ask for a meeting about this. He/she is a state employee and cannot deny a meeting. That was probably one of the most beneficial meetings we ever had. Hugs, Starbie. Abbey [/QUOTE]
